| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription naming the ruler, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The circle is in turn surrounded by a finely detailed wreath of laurel or olive branches in high relief, their stems tied at the base. The whole is framed by a reeded outer border. The composition is formal and symmetrical, consistent with the presentation coinage style of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dhofar operated as a semi-autonomous sultanate under Said bin Taimur, who consolidated personal control over the region's finances with near-total exclusivity. This gold issue was produced for Dhofar specifically — not for the broader Muscat and Oman sultanate — reflecting the deliberate administrative separation Said maintained between his coastal inheritance and the interior province he governed with exceptional austerity. Foreign currency dominated actual commerce; these gold pieces functioned closer to prestige instruments than circulating money.
The KM#29a designation separates this from related silver-composition strikings of the same type, with the .917 fineness consistent with British sovereign-adjacent gold standards then common across Gulf-adjacent territories.
